Not Ranked
1962 Econoline window van. Six cylinder powered (a 144 or a 170 cid, real "torque monster" and a "three-on-the-tree" trans)
Drove many of these first generation E-Series....nasty handling, straight front axle, "mid-engined" (look it up, engine between front axle centerline and rear axle is technically a "mid-engine") and FAV used one to tow GT40s from the works to the airport or for testing. Today you wouldn't tow a Jet-Ski with one, much less without a weight-ditributing hitch and a trailer with NO brakes towed by a van with 1.75"x10" non-assited drum brakes!!!!
